Environment and Sustainability
The City of Chicago is a leader of innovative environmental initiatives, and sustainability is a key focus of Chicago’s policies. From the Chicago Climate Action Plan's broad leadership to the City's targeted energy efficiency investments, Chicago is integrating sustainability in the places residents work, live, learn, and play while preparing for a resilient future.
Creating a green, sustainable city requires hard work, cooperation and a commitment from local government as well as every individual, business and institution in the city.
